A microwave discharge light source device in which one side of a discharge space in which a plasma emission takes place is defined by a transparent dielectric member. A transparent microwave reflecting member is disposed in a position such as to face the discharge space through the dielectric member. A microwave having an electric field component in the direction of thickness of the dielectric member is introduced into the dielectric member through the coupling at an end surface of the dielectric member so that a microwave electric field is formed in the discharge space, and so that the plasma emission medium emits light by electric discharge. The light thus emitted is extracted through the transparent microwave reflecting member.

An automatic tracking welding machine includes a pair of rotatably mounted sensors 6a, 6b disposed in advance of a welding torch 3 and coaxial therewith for detecting magnetic leakage flux across a weld line gap 10. The sensors are driven to equalize their outputs by a reversible stepping motor 15 supplied with drive pulses whose frequency is proportional to the sensor output difference up to a fixed limit, thereby implementing slowdown as the center or zero differential point is approached. Alternatively, a greater number of fixed sensors may be peripherally spaced around the torch housing and their outputs sequentially scanned and peak detected to track the weld line gap. In another embodiment a spaced pair of sensors 116a, 116b is laterally and bidirectionally driven by a reversible d.c. motor 123 supplied with a voltage proportional to the off-center distance detected by the sensors, thus also implementing slowdown as the zero point approaches. Hall effect sensor elements encased in a non-magnetic metal housing may be used to avoid sputtering damage. A single leakage flux sensor may also be employed and periodically scanned laterally across the weld line gap, whereby a peak or zero slope in its output would indicate centering.

Ferromagnetic layers have magnetizations oriented to such directions as to cancel each other, so that the net magnetization of the ferromagnetic layers is substantially zero. That is, the ferromagnetic layers are exchange-coupled with a nonmagnetic layer interposed therebetween, thereby forming an SAF structure. Since the net magnetization of the ferromagnetic layers forming the SAF structure is substantially zero, the magnetization of a recording layer is determined by the magnetization of a ferromagnetic layer. Therefore, the ferromagnetic layer is made of a CoFeB alloy having high uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, and the ferromagnetic layers are made of a CoFe alloy having a high exchange-coupling force.

A magnetic field detection apparatus capable of changing the detection range and detection sensitivity as desired for a specific application is disclosed. A magnetoresistance effect element is applied a bias magnetic field and an external magnetic field. The bias magnetic field and the external magnetic field are generated on the same straight line, and therefore the bias magnetic field functions to hamper the external magnetic field applied to the magnetoresistance effect element. Thus, the magnetization of the free layer of the magnetoresistance effect element is suppressed, and the rotational angle of the magnetized vector is reduced. As a result, the characteristic of the resistance value of the magnetoresistance effect element to the external magnetic field is shifted by an amount equivalent to the bias magnetic field.
